A dear friend of Caffe Vivaldi, Professor Sheldon Krimsky, penned a piece titled "Turning off the Music" on the current climate of uncertainty surrounding our future at 32 Jones Street. You can find the article in the August 2016 edition of the West Village's monthly paper, WestView News. It is available for reading online if you press right here.

Last Monday, June 13th, Caffe Vivaldi launched our second petition on moveon.org. It comes at a time when we are facing a pending court date with our landlord this summer at the Supreme Court of New York State. When we reach a critical mass of signatures, we will be sending this petition along to Mayor DeBlasio and Councilman Corey Johnson, who represents our district (the sixth district of New York) in the New York City Council. With our gratitude for being part of our community, we invite you to add your name to the chorus of voices who are supporting and standing with us.

Last week, Woody paid a visit to the West Village and Caffe Vivaldi to shoot scenes for his upcoming Amazon Project. It was the third time that he has filmed scenes for his movies at the Caffe, with Bullets Over Broadway in 1993 and Whatever Works in 2008 – an unprecedented first for us.

Classical for All celebrates its second year in West Village’s Caffe Vivaldi; best known from the movies of Woody Allen and Al Pacino. For the last two years New Yorkers have had the privilege of enjoying classical music concerts in a casual, and intimate atmosphere for only a suggested donation.

It is with a lot of joy that I present the Brazilian Music Series at Caffe Vivaldi every other Tuesday. My vision is to create a home for both traditional and experimental Brazilian music as presented by the finest Brazilian musicians in NYC.
